Six Strange Movie Sub-Genres You Never Heard Of
|By- Gayatri Tilgulkar|
No one wants to drive around the corner to see the same street with different a name board. Flipping channels and browsing titles has laboured the point of raising the stakes. The sub-genres mentioned below are peculiar, but do protest the age-old brackets. A person who wants to try something new can get off the ground with six infrequent movie sub-genres.
1. Newspaper Movies
Intriguing or concerning, the primary integrity of news lies in empowering people, making them aware of the community they reside. The purpose of journalism is to present views contributed by the society. Newspaper movies render decent opinions about existence, communities, culture and administration.
Example: Broadcast news 1987, Network 1976 goes into every complexity the plot is based on. Newspaper movies have the power of holding perceptions through society’s standpoints.
2. Bruceploitation
On July 20th 1973, Bruce lee who was best known for his lightning-fast fighting technique died due to Cerebral edema. By this time Bruce lee had become an indispensable figure for action movies. His demise fathered a cinematic sensation termed Bruceploitation. Several movies were released with stories connecting to lee. They also featured entertainers who resembled him.
For the sake of argument, sometimes these movies do come off as trashy and disrespectful. However, the bitter truth is, these movies have slim chances of failing at box office due to the name associate with it. There are several movies which are lacklustre and so many that are on the good end of the spectrum.
Movies like Fist of Fury II (1997) and Games of Death II (1981) were well accepted because the events in the films were presented smoothly, Bruce lee a prominent figure has become a character in today’s time. Hence using him as a plot device, works.
3. Revisionist Western
A morally ambiguous community where protagonist and antagonist echo each other’s characteristic at a better view than previously represented. Actions don’t fit in boxes of good or bad. I Shot Jesse James (1949) and The Only Good Indian (2009) are one of few examples which has this sub-genre.
4. Anthropological Drama
The movie explores the connection between the community as a whole and the cultural representation which it propagates. Anthropological kneels to creation and reflection of concerns: Social hierarchy, purpose, significance, individuality and awareness.
It teaches viewers socio-cultural diversity as a part of numerous hypothetical viewpoints in practice. A pivotal character will be introduced: but will only be a mere pawn at the grand scheme of events which takes place. The society’s main conflict will be in focus rather than a character’s life.
Example: Night on Earth 1991 and City of Gods 2002
5. Surrealist
It does not pursue a generic narrative. The movie will not obey any aspect of a consecutive narrative. It has no explicit plot and rambles, discontinuing as story leaps from drastically different time periods. Yet when executed properly provides one hell of a cinematic experience.
There is no reliable explanation why every individual will potentially draw some different conclusion from another spectator
Example: Eraserhead 1977, Blue Velvet 1988
6. Sea-Life Sport Films
This has to be the strangest one which evolved to be its own genre. Blame it on Japanese.
Sea creatures playing human sports.
No one is trying to ruffle your feathers by throwing an odd genre at you, in fact to play it fairly, if not conducted properly, a movie with this genre could win several honours at golden raspberry awards.
But here is the thing, this movie is a dissenter of ordinary. The competition is non-existent and creative liberty is as far as you can see. Sea life sport films are always entertaining and unintentionally funny.
That’s the only reason why this was included in the list. The section cannot insert examples because the best movie is yet to be made. But if anyone is looking for a no-brainer entertainment. This movie will come to the rescue.
Staying till the end bonus: Bollywood Horror, Psycho-Biddy films and Lucha films.
Let us know in the comments which is the best worst movie at Golden Raspberry Awards.
